STREETS | 20th Ave NE between NE 65th St and Lake City Way NE

Traffic Calming Upgrades

Project Overview

20th Ave NE, between NE 65th St and Lake City Way NE, is designated as a collector arterial with a posted speed limit of 30mph. It supports access to Ravenna Eckstein Community Center and Playground, a nearby Church, and people commuting to the city, which includes a high volume of cyclists. Installing traffic calming upgrades enhances safety and predictability for all travelers.

Crossing Improvements

Project Overview

The lack of safe, marked crossings to Dahl Playfield is a challenge for people traveling to the park. Seattle residents must either cross a busy street at an unmarked location, or travel to the only marked crosswalk that connects to Dahl Playfield at NE 80th St. By adding crossing improvements, we can effectively shorten pedestrian crossing distance, increase visibility, accessibility, and safety for all travelers.

Given the projects location, we’ll partner with Parks & Recreation to complete implementation, pending their approval.

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) develops, maintains, and operates a transportation system that promotes the mobility of people and goods, and enhances the quality of life, environment, and economy of Seattle. In June 2002, SDOT was created by combining transportation planning from the former Strategic Planning Office with the former Seattle Transportation Department to bring a more comprehensive approach to transportation service delivery. A major element of SDOT's creation was the establishment of the Policy, Planning, and Major Projects division, which is charged with transportation system planning and providing increased control and influence over major projects under construction in Seattle.
